I'm suffering from an OBS-aftermath-compulsive-disorder.
Yes, I've obsessed to everyone possible about my awesome OBS experience. This includes my maid and 7 year-old sister, thank you. And yes,
to My Love - Westlife, At The Beginning - Anastacia, Stand By You - Girl's Aloud, and Say It Isn't So - Gareth Gates; All the Cousteau-OBS songs.
is sounding in my head.
people.
The Birin SongBirin loves us, yes we know;
For these five days proved it so.
Birin tricks us all day long,
But we're still writing this song!
Yes, Birin loves us,
Yes, we love Birin.
Yes, Birin loves us,
He's irreplaceable!
Wild Boars can chase us,
cause Birin will save us!
We love you, Birin!
Thank You for taking care of us!
Birin, you're the BOMB!OBS was ze best.
1. Cousteau were discussing on how we didn't understand Lum earlier, he was saying, "Look, the boat is turning! The boat is turning!"
So Trina, Theresa, Xiangyi, myself and a few others assumed he was telling us to stop the boat from 'turning'. So we faced the boat - but alas! the boat
wasn't moving at all! And he continued saying, "Look the boat is moving!" So we looked liked idiots and stared blankly at the boat.. - Turns out, he wanted us to turn the boat and was doing some reverse psychology thing.
2. Xiangyi talks in her sleep and apart from the 'wild-boar-snore', she once shouted "I WANT MY MUMMY!!" and the most hilarious one was her suddenly removing her shirt halfway. HAHAHAHHA. Weird Xiangyi.
3. As Birin tricked us
all the time, during outdoor cooking on the 4th day, Huiyi suddenly screamed, pretending to burn her hand, and Birin was like, "are you okay??(!), and we all started laughing.
4. In a short paragraph, Sophie can say at least 20+ of the word "like". (Yes, we counted.) At the jetty, she had to say something which I forgot - so assuming she had to describe coming to OBS, it'd be like;
Sophie: So like, we went on this like ferry. It was like quite big and like a lot of people went together cause like it was spacious. And OBS was like really big and like it was quite clean. Then like we saw our instructors and like he was quite like good-looking but like everyone thought Jonathon was like good-looking but like... AND SO ON. You get my point. Haha.
5. Oh and during the trek, Birin took this plant and scared us saying it was a caterpillar. HAHAHA. We all screamed like crazy. Heh.
6. And Birin was telling us this Char-Kway-Teow ghost story on day 3, and we all screamed at the end. But alas, he revealed that the story was made-up. But quite a lot of people were damn scared. I don't believe in ghosts though. But yeah. It was funny.
7. When Birin came to find us at our store, he was stepping on Da Gama's ponchos which they laid out of the floor to dry..
Denise(I think): Eh Birin! You're stepping on their ponchos!
Birin: Never mind what. Not Cousteau's. *winks*
Gosh damn funny and sweet.
8. Birin was patrolling the tents after lights out to ensure that everyone was asleep and our tent and the others weren't..
Birin (shouting to the tents): Eh, go and sleep!
Bending towards our tent to talk to us,Birin: Not you guys la huh. ;D
9. Birin used to call Jenem(Jare-gnem), "Je-nut". Hahaha.
Heh, okay that's all. Superrrr long post - just for memories-sake especially since I've short term memory. D: Heh, will post pictures another day! :D
Love all 17 Cousteau-ians! Sophie, Huiyi, Theresa, Carissa, Trina, Sylvie, Denise, Cindy, Michellina, Xiangyi, Dhanusha, Rinaa, Jenem, Jingli, Jesselyn and of course, Birin! <3

Well, the extremely hectic roundabouts were worth it. I'm lazy to blog about Farewell so I'll wait till someone does, then quote them :D Sucha loser I know. Oh wellssss. |: And yeah, the preparations were finally over!
Now it's just the huge pile of holiday homework. Life as a student sucks huh. |:
What if we had talked less? Worry less? Cared less?
...Or not bother at all?
Oh, how great life might have been.
Yay, my mum bought me new earphones cause I commented mine were ugly with tape all over. :D And I realised I'm missing
all the three days of lessons. Cause tomorrow, my mum is going overseas to America to see my sis's graduationn, (i was meant to go(!) but there was OBS.) and so airport @ 9AM. |:
And Wednesday meeting Nicole for Farewell preparations in the morning. Missing Chem and Maths again. Godddddddddd, Lee Jianwei, Choy and HLY must be hating me D:
And I owe LJW 2 Chem SPA Practical, owe Choy AMaths File, and owe HLY Emaths file.

\\
Rachel: And anyway, I haven't gotten my _ for three months
Sophie: HAHAHHA. omgosh you're in labour!
Rachel: Huh. In Labour means giving birth
Sophie: OH!! You're pregnant, not in labour.
Hahaha, Wth. Love Sophie manxzxz. :D
I just realized the amount of holiday homework we have can drown a sea. Oh, and this reminds me of Celestine's MSN Messenger Personal message last year(!):
Behind even successful student, lies a huge pile of homework. Hahaha, absolutely true although I'm not exactly a "
successful student".
:(
Sleepover yesterday-today was pretty fun. :D We accomplished quite a lot actually. :D Yayz. Sherlyn was being her hilarious, amusing self as usual. :D Last night, when I
casually said the ribbons she tied were pretty, she started grinning to herself for 2 whole minutes. And by a slip of tongue later, I mentioned that "her fingers were nimble", and oh the horror(!), she was on cloud nine alright. And during the incidences when Huiyi and Sherlyn were wrestling for the bed, Sherlyn would expose herself (unwittingly, I hope), to Nicole and I. Oh trauma. Hahaha, and she and Huiyi was arguing on who was the better
housewife:
Huiyi: I AM BETTER.
Sherlyn: No! I can clean and clean.
Huiyi: You cannot iron!
Sherlyn: Hahahahaha, but I am tall. Can reach the higher cabinets to clean and take things.
Haha, the look on Huiyi's face was priceless. :D And the last and weirdest happening regarding Sherlyn was last night. Sophie and I were outside doing the souvenirs when we heard an argument in the guest room:
Sherlyn: Nicole! SHE SAW MY NAKED BUTT!
Okay, you get the idea. Hahaha, I don't know who was more traumatized; Huiyi or Sherlyn. Haha. But yeah, love sherlyn. She provides comic relief.
And the second potential comedian -- SOPHIE ONG;
We were using glass deco to write words when Huiyi commented hers weren't working. So, Nicole to the rescue! Basically the opening was stuck and hence the glass deco couldn't come out. And after a while, Sophie, too,
claimed hers was "not working". And she then demonstrated to us by trying to use it. AHAH, in the end, it was realize that the genius, Sophie Ong Si Hui, hadn't removed the cover.
Round of applause for Sophie(!)
Can't remember already and I'm tired. Had barely 5 hours of sleep.
D:
So bascially today was mostly
Crezmun;
Haha, there were heated arguments occasionally -- mainly between U.S.A, Philippines & China, but it went well in the end. ...WE WON! (U.S.A's Resolution)
Okay, mm, brief summary of today:
1) Had Rollcall and stuff, then the Secretary General of UN and Mdm Claudia Ting made the opening Address. Then there were Opening Speeches, followed by a break, the debates, break again, debate again, and voting. :D
2) Amidst the eerie silence of the debate, the following took place:
Aleena: Point of Personal Priviledge!
*Everyone turns to look at Aleena*
Aleena: ...The delegate of Sudan had dropped her placard. *In a matter-of-fact tone*
*Everyone laughs*
Secretary General: Order!
Hahaha, hilarious. I think raising points of Priviledge lightens the atmosphere :D
Another similar incident;
Delegate of Canada: *talking about her stand*
*N2 raises her placard*
Secretary General: The Chair recognizes Kingdom of Thailand
N2: Point of Privilege! .....
It's really hot here.
HAHA. Funnehh.
3)
Best speaker: Aleena;
Best delegate: delegate of France;
Best delegation: China
4)Omgosh I think Mrs Lau's
damn funny and cute omg. Hahaha, cause Charmaine was rather aggressive in her reply towards Delegate of China, and Mrs Lau was pretty unhappy about it. And during the break, Yingmin went to tell Mrs Lau she told Charmaine to make a formal apology to China later, and Mrs Lau said, "Good girl" in this very cute voice.
Mrs Lauuuuuuuuuuuu. <3And her arm was over Celine Low's shoulder during one of the break and she looks super motherly! Hahaha, <33333333.
Okay, gotta leave for Nicole's house nowww.
Sleepover!
Delegation: United Mexican States
Topic 1:
The question of legitimacy in the use of torture in the war on terrorTopic 2:
The question of protection of children and women from exploitation by the so called "Sex Tourism".Alright Rachel, step 1; ...Actually
understand the questions. D:
/1 "...Until such time as regional associations or any genuine multilateral efforts are organized into fair and verifiable regimes allowing for each state's development of technology and legitimate needs, and until such time as denuclearization of weapons follows a global plan of implementation, Iran reserves the right to develop means to meet the energy needs of its people are to defend itself against the threat of nuclear states..."
..WHAAAT?
*/1's an abstract of an example we were given on how to do the questions above.
Hahahaha, my chance of getting into the Crezmun team is zero. :)
:(
Randoms; (And particularly because I'm in no mood to construct proper sentences. :\ )
1. Sophie has yet again, proved that she is worthy of being chairman of the Sophie Club! And it seems like
Ho Zi___________Ying has great potential of being vice-chair :D THEY BOTH NEED TO EAT LOADS OF
BROCCOLI. :D Hahaha, broccoli that's done. ;D
2. I think IKEA's cool. Could stay there for hours if I had the timee. I like. :D And the food's not bad either. We're going there again tomorrow. Oh wait, there's Guides, so I don't know. :|
3. Sylvie's seriously hilarious; she didn't come to school today because she just wore braces and her mouth was swollen. Haaaaa. So amusing. :D
4. Stayed back for Guides today. Marvelous turnout of 8 people, namely Nicole, Ziying, Sophie, Sherlyn, Huiyi, Stephanie, Dewika and myself. Oh wellssss. It wasn't that constructive anyway. D:
5. Just found out that there's Guides tomorrow.
6. And Secondary 3's have an "important interview" quote unquote. ZOMG DIE. I won't even know what I'm gonna say! It's like, you gotta be both egoistic yet modest at the same time. :\ And it's gonna be pressurizing and scary. D: Ughhhh. And that's not the worse of tomorrow; we're also getting back all our results. :| So screwedxzxz. Okay okay, I'm gonna make
cheer up notes now. Agreed with Ziying to make a few in case it's needed tomorrow. D:
With plastered faces of hypocritical smiles,
Fake effusive words, endearments, encouragements;
Let's get up on stage, and fool the world.
So be prepared Darling, your world may fall apart.
Cause all the world's a stage; And alas,
People, even friends, are just liars wearing masks.
Whooooots. Sounds emo but cool 8)
HELLO SINGAPORE!
Aha, I think my love for Singapore has been strengthened. i was
so happy to be back. Ah, nothing's like home~ :D
So yeah, the trip was awesome. It's not that I'm in love with Malaysia, but rather the relatives there are
really nice, sweet and all that. In fact, I used to really dread going to Malaysia because of the heavy pollution and unhygienic environment. But this time, surprisingly, was a really memorable experience.
Cried a lot on the first day, but hardly thereafter. Basically the days we spent at the wake was just stoning, sleeping, socializing with the visitors who came to offer their condolences and praying with Buddhist monks.
That was the worse part, really. My grandfather was a Buddhist and so we had to light incense just about thirty thousand times. And my nose was sensitive to the incense so everytime we had to pay respects, I'd start sneezing. And on several occasions, it was total silence till my horrid nose decided to barge in. D: It was extremely embarrassing. :\
But anyway, the relatives were reallyyy nice. They treated all of us really well, though one
horrid uncle had claimed aloud that we, Singaporeans, didn't know our own culture and traditions. D:
Yepp, stayed with my Dad's brother, and omgosh I swear his son is the ultimate love. <3. He would hold his mother hand and drag her around the house. DAMN CUTE. And he calls Power Rangers, "Pu-shore" cause he's unable to pronounce the whole thing. ZOMG LOVE. <3
Gotta go back on the 49th and 100th day as well. Kinda looking foward to it actually. Can't wait to see the small boy. :D And I really regret not going back the last time, and now it's too late. Ugh :\
Oh wellssssssss. Crezmun on Tuesday; Guides on Wednesday & Thursday; Going out with Sophie on Friday. YAY. :D
